You can't.
And I wouldn't do it either if you could.
You would completely ruin the game that way.

It means that your goal shouldn't be "Lets get to the ending quick ahhhhhh.".
It should be to be a part of the game.
That is what makes it scary.

I read somewhere (maybe even on this forums) that it's possible to change some entries in the ini file. But maybe it won't be nesessary. I'd really like to disable panicking in Penumbra though.

Just finished the game! And this is the first adventure game that I've finished since Full Throttle Big Grin

I liked Overture. It's shord and easy... just like Full Throttle Cool

OK, maybe it was a bit too short. But then again, it's not a full game. I'm hoping I'll get some answers in episode two.
And I kiled all dogs, every single one Tongue

(btw, I was playing on normal)

Now try to play it on Hard and do not kill anything.
I did that. Tongue

By the way, lets see you now in Black Plague, where you DON'T have weapons. :p

Same, first playthrough and it was amazing! Oh the memories...

I played it on hard, and did a combat run after playing it "properly."

I didn't hide around no corners. I stood in the lights with my glow-stick out, hopping on metal to get the puppies' attention. Then it was go time.

That's right mutt. You'd better run and call for backup. I'mma plant a pickaxe in your face.

The game was entirely different, playing it that way. Shame you can't try fighting the worm, lol.

I am still sad that weapons even existed in Overture, but I'm glad they learned and took them out for subsequent releases. Though it was pretty fun swinging them around. Big Grin

Just be thankful that it doesn't have a sanity meter like Amnesia does that makes your screen go all blurry.

Requiem is the worst of the series.

I coudn't be botherd to wait for the dogs to walk by so i could pass them. I waited behind some chests to hit them in the face and kill them so i can move around with the dogs walking around.

Why is it the worst?
